Octomom -- I Stripped My Way Off Welfare

Sources tell TMZ ... the mother of 14 no longer needs government assistance thanks to her various XXX gigs. We're told Octo has raked in more than enough cash to support herself -- we're talkin' 6-figs.

TMZ broke the story ... Octo went on welfare​ back in March (resulting in a slew of death threats) claiming she needed the cash to help feed her family. But as of June, her 3-month cycle ended and she chose NOT to renew it.

We're told Octo still stands by her decision to go on welfare in the first place ... but she's happy to show the world it was just a temporary situation.
